Apparently movies about geniuses who attended Cambridge are hot right now, because we're about to get another one. The Man Who Knew Infinity has Dev Patel playing Srinivasa Ramanujan, who came to Cambridge from India and went on to make major contributions to mathematics. On one hand, the film looks like it follows the tired biopic formula (struggle —> heartwarming conclusion), but it's fantastic to see a movie like this focus on someone other than a famous white man. And this trailer makes it clear that the film is at least trying to pay attention to those differences. It's out in the UK on April 8th and in the US on April 29th.
